Glorious troff problem

``temp file space exceeded'' means (at least under 4.1BSD) that
NROFF's (TROFF's) internal memory array has filled up.  This can
be solved by going to 'long' indexes into the array (yes I know
'int' happens to work on VAXen) and increasing the array size.
Look in tdef.h in /usr/src/cmd/troff.  There may be a few other
things you have to change.  We increased our internal space to
512Kbytes.

By the way, in certain situations you must use

\\\!<line>

to get the effect of

\!<line>

I think floating keeps with index entries (but not non-floating keeps)
in -me is one such situation.
